Obama is an Affermative Action guy. He has gotten a wink and a nod throught college and his jobs. He got elected to the senate through dirty politics and now for the first time in his life he has to perform as and educated professional that he represented himself to be. No more winks and nods.
Obama is way way way out of his leauge.

The only question is can the country survive the next four years.

He does. Just different from yours.

I think it depend's on how the economy stands in a couple of years. The bail-out's with the pork and pet projects may not stimulate the economy at all.

Also, one of the greatest tests will be if we make any progress in the Middle East. We are also loosing popularity with our foreign investors.

I think American's that voted for him can clearly see that he is a liar as mentioned in the OP. When he campaigned on saving energy yet keeps his thermostat at 80 degrees...that's just one little lie.

Obama has made some poor cabinet picks. I can't believe the people he appointed who owed back taxes, chose not to take a position, and who are in jail for corruption. One scandal, after another.

And Biden, he's a joke. He is supposed to track the money that is appropriated but couldn't even remember the web address, come on folks.

Keep on promoting transparency Obama, it's going to show America that you may talk a good talk (with a telepromter), but you are being tested. Not just by us, (the masses as you have said), maybe your Muslim friends?

1. Obama is weak and naïve on foreign affairs. Americans understand that there are evil forces in the world that want to destroy us and our way of life. When it comes to protecting America, especially, Americans want the president of the United States to have courage and show resolve.

2. Obama’s proposed tax policies will cripple the economy. History has shown that tax cuts (across the board) boost the economy because cuts put extra cash in the pockets of working Americans, and when that happens people spend, invest, and build, all beneficial components of a strong economy.

3. Obama is wrong on energy policy. At a rate of 70%, Americans support off shore oil drilling. Americans want drilling for the obvious reasons that we need to heat our homes, and drive our cars, but also because it makes sense to exploit our own resources instead of paying for oil elsewhere. There is a way to accomplish this goal without losing sight that alternate forms of energy is the way of the future.

4. Obama’s abortion policies are too radical. Obama cannot hide from his record, when in 2003 as chairman of an Illinois state Senate committee, he “voted down a bill to protect live-born survivors of abortion – even after the panel had amended the bill to contain verbatim language, copied from a federal bill passed by Congress without objection in 2002.” [Emphasis added] Obama’s relentless support of liberal abortion laws, regardless of the consequences, puts him at odds with most Americans.

5. Obama’s curious associations leaves much to be desired. The following is a short list of Obama’s curious associations: Liberation theology Pastor Jeremiah Wright; Convicted felon Tony Rezco; American traitor William Ayers; Terrorist sympathizers Code Pink.



Here are mine:

1. He’s a total left wing nut case that makes Kerry look like a bleeding moderate.
2. He has never done a blinking thing of note.
3. Hes all talk and no action.
4. Hes a coward who will not stick up for his friends.
5. He has no core values he will not change to get elected.
Well, this explains why Obama lost the far right nutty Republican vote, but not much more. That's the problem with this sort of analysis. It pretends that everyone thinks like the analyzer does.

"3. Hes all talk and no action."

The last couple of months kinda proved that one wrong too.

Imagine that...having a president that actually spends record amounts of money on the future health and well being of his own country. Instead of having one that flys planeloads of untraceable cash into Iraq to awaken the Sunnis and bribe malitias not to kill Americans.

Nice diplomacy.

Should Newt Gingrich run for POTUS in 2012, Obama will fall TKO style. The bleeding heart Liberal Left cannot condemn Newt for out of control spending like the current administration because when he was Speaker Of The House in 1995 he drove down the deficit and held former POTUS Clinton fiscally responsible. *Note* When Gingrich was Speaker Of The House, The National Debt grew LESS than a trillion dollars.
(I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, I believe Newt Gingrich is the only Republican that can defeat Obama come 2012)



Gingrich/Palin take back the White House in 2012.

Is this really Obama's fault, or does this merely reflect how the quality and accountability of all politicians has plummeted over the past decade?

I don't believe Obama has bad intentions, just as I did not believe Bush ever had bad intentions for the country.

They both made poor cabinet picks because all possible choices were poor cabinet picks.

Bush' misled the country to war because he was misled into war by his own advisers.

Obama passed the pork bill because the politicians surrounding him are walking pork chops.

People have become too polarized, blaming either the Republicans or the Democrats for our woes. The problem is just incompetent politicians. In the professional work force, one needs intelligence, knowledge, and a strong worth ethic to be successful. In the realm of politics, one only needs money and connections.

Couldn't the same arguement be made about our last President? Basically rode off the coattail of Bush 41.

Got any evidence of this or is just more of the same BS that is usually posted.
